Users are going to have fun with it. Apart from all other standard features like "add to favorite", 'add to playlist' and etc... Users can create their own channels. Assign name to channel and share to all their friends with a very short permalink url. Users can also share a private channel to non site registered friends. All this friend needed is the password for this channel assigned by channel owner.
Not only channels can be shared, groups and even a single video can be shared by users using the same method.
With the integration of CB or JOMSOCIAL, users love staying at your site with jVideoDirect.

We aim for easy management. A clean and simple backend administration layout is designed exactly for this purpose. We operate video site too. We know exactly what we need to manage it.

For Developers
We have incorporated a plugin system for developers to develop add-on to jVideoDirect.
Players, video grabbers, on-event trigger plugins can be developed through the use of the plugin system.

Although this is a new extension the development team is clearly on its way to putting out an excellent video gallery component. I especially like their "Videos Being Watched Now" plug-in contributed by a user. The support is prompt and skilled. Development team member Ethan helped me fix some settings that I had misconfigured on my site. They listen to users suggestions and have already provided an update. Soon to be added will be a wiki to keep so that the documentation will be up to date. Bravo to this dedicated team. ...Rowby
have you ever had good customer support? no... not good
GREAT.... wait....not great.... AMAZING!

i mean these guys have such a good response time...they almost made me feel like i ran the company over at JVIDEO.... i literally felt like i was giving a memo in the morning and they would have the feature i reuqested that same night....WOW

my experiences with JvideDirect have rekindled my faith in Joomla Developers as a whole...these guys are the bees freakin knees man....

and to top it off...the component itself is already so great to begin with...

i came over from HWDvideo to use JvideoDirect and i will NEVER... EVER ...look back

there were so many simple things i used to think were impossible.... that Jvideo has NAILED TO A TEE

simply amazing guys...THANK YOU...thank you for existing.... oh... and i just finished my site lol

beautiful graphics and excellent functionality.
Support is fast quickly and efficiently.
and 'just what I was looking for!
only small problem is the lack of plugins for several portals and the ability to insert the component into a site map (X-map, etc. ..) but the project was started recently and will certainly be implemented.
Rating 5 - great ...
Waiting for the new update - paginiroger

Hi Paginiroger,

Thank you for your great review,
You were the one who have suggested XMap plugin when we first release jVideoDirect, right?

XMap plugin was released together with Version 1.1RC last week. Beside, we have added more plugins for other platforms and SEF plugins too.

check them out and enjoy :) Oliver

I thought Jvideodirect would be great but it has lots of problems..the main thing is it's upload..it takes a lot of time to figure out how to upload videos to the server..there's no manual...and it has lots of bugs...second you need to know how to convert videos..if you don't than there's no use...they will ask for another 60-70 euro for video conversion..overall what i found is that they are just a scam with efforts to just earn money and not help at all...even though you buy it if you are not a good programmer, you are just wasting your time..I personally recommend everyone not to use this software...

hi dallibose,
We remember you. You are the only one who have approached our Professional Service for Converter Installation Service ...
If you can remember how we reply you, you should be ok.

First, we let you decide do you really need a converter, and explained to you that, this is only required if you need to upload videos from desktop. Otherwise you can still fetch videos from other supported platform.

Secondly, we have also explained to you that you required a dedicated server or vps plan for converter to be installed.

Thirdly, we asked for access for server checkup make sure we can deliver before we take the job.

and lastly, we have quoted you 60euro for the job to be done.

Beside, we have a very clear instruction on how-to install converter, right in the main page of our website.

And we have given a very responsive support to you, even you are not a subscriber with support.

We believe we have already done the best for you.
Sorry that jVideoDirect doesn't suit you, and i must tell you that, YES, it is buggy, cause it's in beta version and it's only out in the market for only 7 weeks.

However, if you do a little bit search in our forum, you can be able to know that a version 1.1 rc1 will be out next week with lots of bug fix.

Although it has just been released this extension has more features than others that have been out for a long while. Video channels, playlists, video viewer groups , and good display modules. The team behind it is very open and responsive and seem to be trying hard to improve it at a fast pace, based on the feedback they get it their forums.

Its a large file so it has to be uploaded and unpacked in the "tmp" directory to install, otherwise install will fail. But it is well worth it the effort. Some aspects are a bit fiddly to configure but they are working to simply that as well, as add more features. Well worth switching to if you are frustrated with other video components that lack the continuous development that this one is obviously getting. A very good addition to Joomla functionality. Well done !
I'm on a shared host account- so I know it can be difficult getting a solid video component up and running... I've tried hwdvideo and seyret (hwdvideoshare's support is far better than seyret's non-existing support)- I paid for both, and am now using jvideodirect (found it by accident)... mark my words- as soon as more people find out about this component, this is going to be the one!!! Features are awesome, and support has been great- So, when you're disappointed enough in hwdvideo and seyret, give this one a try- better yet- use this one before you try the other two and save yourself some money, time and a lot of frustration. The look can use some development, but hey, I'd take function over flashy anyday... I have a feeling it's a young component.

If this component worked for me, it would be just what I need, but not only does the upload fail, but even the tester video does not work when using the test function. I write this not to discourage the development or others from downloading this, but I say it could use some tweaks to it. Perhaps some day it may be one of the best video components of joomla. Cheers Josh Lewis.

Hi Josh, sorry to hear that it doesn't work for you. This component has only launched for less than 10 days.
May i know which version did you tested on and does you server meet minimum requirement?
We are more than happy to assist. Drop us a note in the forum.
